Wednesday 10th June: Jeanette's Block Party

Last evening London had a good taste of a proper block party with rum, reggae and latterly a police presence complete with purple plastic gloves as a prerequisite for a fashion party. But the boys in blue didn't stop the city's fashion folk from enjoying themselves. It was quite possibly one of the best 'do's' Ive been to, with the most people-watching fodder you can cram onto one cobbled street. I intelligently forgot to charge my camera battery so missed capturing the whole thing............... but I should think that Mandi will have it locked down, judging by her continual Nike manicured camera clicking.........

But I did manage to get these snaps of Louise Gray, who is selling at the shop (see dress below). Here is also stylist Richard Sloan who moon-lighted as security, since London's resident door-whore is now the proprietor of his new namesake store (see neon sign). Congrats Jeanette, its a beautiful boutique and one of the best openings I ever been to in London!

Thanks to Tom for the invite to see Judy Blame's pieces now on sale at both Jeanettes and Child Of The Jago as of this week. I think my favourite piece in the store was a black and white hand-sewn dress by Jessica Ogden...............to see for yourself go to:

Running Rainbow

Its A London Thing

My book out on September 19th

'Multi-talented Fred Butler is quite the east London renaissance girl, with fingers in so many creative pies that they're difficult to tick off.

Of course, there are the splendidly exuberant accessories, wearable sculptures whose sparkle has attracted fashion magpies such as Gaga, Bjork and Nicki Minaj. But there is also custom made prop styling, art directing and film making.
